| Contract Manufacturer (Tier 1 supplier) | Price per unit @ Q = 10,000 (C) | Price per unit @ Q = 20,000 (C) | Tariff cost (Ti) per unit | Transport mode cost (Tm) per unit | Order Costs (Co) | Cost to store one unit per year (Ch) | Order Lead Time in Days |
| Xiajing Supplier | $ 1.10 | $0.92 | $0.2 | $0.35 | $ 655 | $ 1.35 | 180 |

| Werkzeug Supplier | $ 1.35 | $1.00 | $0.10 | $0.20 | $ 350 | $ 1.05 | 120 |
Annual Demand (D) = 20,000 units
Working days − 365 days in a year
Total Annual Logistic cost can be calculated using following formula:
Total Annual Logistic Cost (TALC) = Total Procurement cost + Total Tariff cost + Total Transportation cost + Total Order Cycle inventory cost + Total Pipeline inventory cost
Where,
D = Annual Demand
Q = Order Quantity
Co = Ordering Cost
Ch= Inventory holding cost
d = Average Daily demand
L = Lead time
For Order quantity of 10,000 units

Recycled Content—This LEED requirement encourages use of recycled materials including post-consumer recycled content and pre-consumer content. Supplementary cementitious materials, such as fly ash, silica fume, and slag cement, are pre-consumer recycled content. Recycled concrete as aggregate qualifies as postconsumer recycled content. Generally, reinforcing bars, manufactured from recycled steel, are considered post-consumer recycled content.
Your head of division has asked you to evaluate the alternatives for producing newly designed jig on milling machine. He gives you the following facts: An old milling machine valued at RM 150,000 exists in the warehouse that can be modified for the new jig. The production line supervisor has given an estimate of RM 25,000 to modify this machine. It is hoped that the milling machine will be able to meet production requirements at full capacity. Another vendor, CARE Sdn Bhd, has produced the machine five years ago and can easily do the same modifications for RM45,000. The cooling system used for this machine is not environmentally safe and would require some disposal costs. CARE Sdn Bhd has offered to build a new milling machine to be more environmental friendly and a higher capacity for a price RM250,00. For this scenario: (a) Define the problem statement. (b) Explain ONE (1) key assumption. (c) Explain THREE (3) alternatives available.

- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?arrow_forwardScenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

Our client is in the habit of organizing a set of tasks into what is called a batch. Items are used as units of work intermediate level, to which a limited amount of material can be assigned to fulfill the tasks that compose them. It is necessary to distinguish the suppliers and the prices of each material, even if there is only one supplier for each material. Although rare, tasks can have an associated machine; but generally, they have more than one. The machines are not related to the work other than by the tasks and the items; and only operators with category “A” can operate them.

What kind of item can be an example, which includes both dimensions of product and service?arrow_forwardBetter Fitness, Inc. (BFI), manufactures exercise equipment at its plant in Freeport, Lon Island. It recently designed two universal weight machines for the home exercise market. Both machines use BFI-patented technology that provides the used with an extremely wide range of motion capability for each type of exercise performed. Until now, such capabilities have been available only on expensive weight machines primarily used by physical therapists. At a recent trade show, demonstrations of the machines resulted in significant dealer interest. In fact, the number of orders that BFI received at the trade show far exceeded its manufacturing capabilities for the current production period. As a result, management decided to begin the production of the two machines. The two machines, which BFI named the BodyPlus 100 and the BodyPlus 200, require different amounts of resources to produce. The BodyPlus 100 consists of a frame unit, a press station, and a pec-dec station. Each frame produced…arrow_forwardExplain the role of TPS in Supply chain managementarrow_forward
